Hey, everybody. Welcome to a very, very special episode of the virtual couch. Just a couple of days ago, I learned that a dear friend and colleague of mine, Shauna Roberts, suffered an aneurysm, swelling within the anterior communicating artery in the brain that has ruptured. And this is from her daughter. Miraculously, she made it past emergency surgery where they, amongst other things, put in a coil stint to stop the bleeding.

0:27.0

And she's currently intubated where her body at the hospital where her body is sedated.

0:32.5

And her neurosurgeons, her daughter said, have told us that it's a miracle that she made it to surgery

0:37.9

to begin with, which we are counting as one of the many miracles from God. And they are continually

optimistic in her recovery based on some very small signs. But she said, we have a long road ahead

0:47.7

of us. We specifically are in a very fragile 10-day period where her care team is working

0:52.9

to prevent further strokes and brain

popped her head out and said,

1:50.4

uh, so that, uh, that sounded like fun. And I, I just, I, I, I laugh still when I think about that.

1:54.7

But we did seminars together. We spoke at events together, uh, along with our other colleagues. When I worked at Bridges Counseling Center, Shelly and Jamie, um, Sean is hilarious and always full of

energy. And when I think of her, I do. I smile.

2:03.3

I laugh. And I had Shauna on the virtual couch twice so early on this episode today that I'm
